Issue #2 Double Standards

This time the content focuses around the topic “iki” (En. Two). “Double standard”, a term that offers a lot of reading material in Turkish culture alone. Sometimes quite subtle, but also often blatant, and this time we still don’t use clichés. Instead – with our stories – we offer a space where these topics can be discussed.

This time it’s about: a fictional conversation between Darwin and Erdoğan on the exclusion of the Theory of Evolution from Turkish textbooks; a report on artificial hymens being sold online; an interview with a male pole dancer from Istanbul; a heartbreaking piece about a long-distance relationship and much more. Of course, this time “iki” is a bilingual edition.

Issue #1 OHA! (SOLD OUT!)

The crowdfunding campaign for the first issue was more than successful and the result can be described as follows: Two hundred printed 16.5 x 24 cm pages of anti-cliché power, completely unparalleled! In other words, just under a kilogram of discoveries of exceptional German-Turkish connections!

With stories like: a photo gallery about the transgender fashion show in Istanbul; a story about Turkish redheads; a photo essay on the terrorist organization DHKP-C; the Polish-Turkish village Polonezköy and much more.
